Coastal Weather Research Center

The Coastal Weather Research Center is a self-supporting operation within the Department
of Earth Sciences at the University of South Alabama. Located in the Mitchell Center
on the main campus, the Weather Center consists of a meteorological laboratory, information
center and archive. Among the Center's major activities are the dissemination of forecasts
and warnings to local and regional business and industry and the support of Alabama's
first and only undergraduate program in meteorology.

Why is there such an emphasis on weather in this area? For the meteorologist, the
answer is easy. Weather along the Central Gulf Coast is interesting, exciting and
challenging but more importantly, it has a significant impact on the area's economy
and life style. The Central Gulf Coast is a natural laboratory for weather research
and education due to its rapidly changing environment and impressive array of weather
events such as severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, waterspouts and hurricanes.
